Hoovermagic... My interest began really because virtually ever extension of my family had Hoover appliances of all description. Specifically though my grandmother had a Hoovermatic 3301L twin-tub and my mother a 3310E. I was equally terrified and fascinated by them. I loved every part of the...

After reading ChesterMike’s post about the celebration of 60 years of the Hoovermatic in Malmesbury http://www.automaticwasher.org/cgi-bin/TD/TD-VIEWTHREAD.cgi?72312_27, I thought I’d post these pictures of my 1979 T5024. Despite being mechanically perfect, it had fairly severe paint damage...

Gas heated Hoovermatic. Hi Laundress, I have a Hoovermatic heated by gas that my family had in France. It is model 3301G based on the Hoovermatic 3301L available in Europe and is the same except for the heating system installation. I posted about it last year. (link below) In fact I've just...

VacBear the Hero... Hello, I'm sure I speak for many when I say thank you Vacbear for continuing to post these threads. I do try to add items to the eBay watch, but nothing matches your extensive postings and I look forward to them every month. Thank you x 1100rpm! JR

That is strange! Hi Mike and Steve, thanks for your replies Steve, that is indeed a very strange coincidence - I haven't been able to find out anything at all about this model from anywhere! Mike, thanks for the tip regarding the hose - the only trouble is I don't have the original with the...

Hello, I thought some people might be interested in this - it's an incredibly rare version of the Hoovermatic 3301L with gas heating of the wash-tub as opposed to the standard electric version. It's model number is 3301G and even still has it's original manual. Apart from the gas heating...

Hi, does anyone know what could be causing a shrieking sound from my Servis Quartz 262 dryer? Basically, it starts fine and within about 10 seconds makes a fairly ungodly shreiking sound. It's continuous sound, though I turned it off immediately so as not to bring hoards of concerned...

I finally finished repairs of my Servis Supertwin 108. I bought this machine really because of it's condition - no rust at all and hardly used. To be honest I wasn't sure how much I'd like it as I am far more used to Hoovermatics and never really got on with the Hotpoint Supermatic. Well I'm...

Thanks, Steve. The -100one is on it's way to me now!

Hi Al, Sorry probably I didn't ask the question very well - I have found hoses for both the 110 and the 100 in a spares shop in Liverpool - I just wondered if either are common to the type used on the 108 as I would rather use a rubber one than a generic type if possible. Thanks, JR

Hi Al, Thanks for your reply. It's the spin tub drain hose - the hooked one that exits from the bottom rear of the machine.

Does anyone know if the drain hose for the Supertwin 108 is common to the 100 or 110 models? I need to replace it on mine but it seems only those versions are available. Thank you. JR

Computer Control Hi Henry, Many thanks for your message and sorry for the delay in getting back to you. What a great machine and thanks for the photograph, it looks magnificent. I have emailed you my phone number. Thanks, Jensen P.S. Yes the manual is still with the dryer!

Hi, I am looking for an Hoover Electron Series washing machine, preferably 1100 rpm spin. My daily driver is a Hoovermatic 3312L but it simple won't take my double duvet cover. (the trials one must face!) It just stalls the pulsator action. In any case I am willing to part with my other "H" word...

Solved! Steve, thank you so much - that is exactly what the problem is! I have removed the motor and sure enough found the scorched and blown suppressor as can be seen in the photo. Tomorrow I will fit a replacement from a donor Spinarinse I have. In my investigation I found that the tub to...
